I don't know where Steve's message was posted (I can't see it in the archives or in my inbox). It seems this would be not only favoring a vendor, but favoring someone who doesn't participate in the community (unless we have a contributor who is also a Coverity employee). And it would favour one (US) Python conference over other non-US conferences, since typically sprints don't get recorded for remote viewing.
